He told me that the property owners to the east of him have been tearing down the trail signs and such.
I have also looked at county survey lines in that area all on the front side. Maybe 6 months ago. It all was owned by one owner which is Rudy's family.
The only areas that were stair stepped property lines were on the west side of the mountain toward the bottom of the valley.
I do know that walters mule road connects directly to a logging road that connects to a county road. So there may be a dispute around that area.
I imagine that the truth will surface pretty soon. There are a lot of people that know Rudy and there is a huge family that wheels there regularly. We have a run comin up on new years along with meet n greet in march.
I can say one thing for sure that at one time wheelers made roughly 70% of
Clayton's economy. After 08, they have been really hurting. I bet we still fund 30-50% of their economy.
If that area shuts down, that means the state parks, country inn, a&a, bigfoot cabin, they might all be in serious trouble. At this point I think freelings has sold and Hurd creek was sold about 7 years ago. This is no good fellas
